Too ignorant themselves to tell

by Republican litterateurs. A la

scented by the Clarksburg News-a

THE sENAToRsHIP.


The Louisville Courier reports
Judge Faulkner as saying Tin sub
stance:
His credentials are perfect, and
the case of Williams is conclusive.
The Governor of California appoint
ed Hearst, and subsequently called
an extra session of the Legislature
The Republicans had agreed not 10
90 into the election of Senator, but
did so and elected Miller. Senator
Edmunds addressed an argument TO
the Judiciary Committee of the Cal
ifornia Legislature. taking the
ground they had right to elect at
the extra session.
We do not believe Mr.. Faulkner
is correctly reported.
l. The Governor has not given
him "a certificate of election. lie
has simply certified the facts, to-
wit: that under our State constltu-
ton the extra session was prohibited
from going into any BUSINESS ex-
cept that named in the proclamation
but, in violation of the State consti-
tuition, they went thro' the form OF
voting for Senator and Mr.. Faulk'
ner received a majority of votes and
was declared elected" If the Sen
ate holds, that "a Legislature" is the
body, which, by the State constitu-
ton, has jurisdiction over all sub
jects except where prohibited, then
Mr.. Faulkner will not be seated.
2. The California case differs
widely. The California constitution
says: The extra session shall have
no power to LEGIsLATE on any sub
jects other than those specified in
the proclamation" The West Vir-
ginia provision is: "Shall enter
upon no BUSINESS except that stated
in the proclamation" There is a
marked distinction between ''legls-
lation" and "business." Electing q
Senator is not Legislation" Mr..
Edmunds may well sustain the Cali
fornia election and yet go against
that in West Virginia.

There are many things money
cannot buy;-it cannot buy COED
health.
Money may buy newspaper PINE
gvrics. but it cannot purchase a
good private character It buys
servile flattery, but cannot Command
that homage the world renders tc
native intellect and personal honor.
1t will buy a pistol, but it will not
buy the nerve to see straight over
six inches of cold steel. Lexington
was a thoroughbred and sold for
$4,000. but seventy-fve millions
could not furnish a coneStoga with
the same qualities Lexington inner
tied from his ancestors. Money will
buy a coat .of-arms, but il cannot
purchase pedigree. The thorough
bred sells for many times the price
of common stock. A thoroughbred
frequently disappoints expectations
based on its pedigree, but if a Lex
ington colt runs his mile in 80 sec
onds, the newspapers may publish
any lies they please, yet sensible
men will risk their money on that
colt.
If man is honorable in his pri
vate dealings; if he has brains, edu
cation, industry and that bOldness
which only comes from enlightened
conviction; if he is frank and out
spoken; if he is the opposite of
time-seryer and sneak, then the more
the public inquire about him, the
more he will be respected and trust
ed. And such man will be Judged
by what he says and does: he will
not be judged by what is said of him
by men who are not respected, who
are not trusted, and who exercise no
influence in the communities where
they reside.
The truth often stings, but it does
good to publish a little Of it now and
then.
Arsenic will not poison a hog
so, too, there are men Of such base
natures, they may not recognize the
application TO themselves of what is
here printed, but some of their
neighbOrs will see the application,
and these neighbOrs are the ones
who mould the popular judgment.
The hog don't exercise much infu-
ence on public opinion.

an autocratic Senate, whose tenure
should be hereditary, or for life. To
show that Morris fully shared the
we'll known views Of Hamilton on
this subject, We give the following
extract from his speech with his
own italics in the convention ON
the End of July, 1777:
The second branch ought to be
composed of men of great and estab-
lished property-an aristocracy.
Men, who from pride will support
consistency and permanency; and
to make them completely independ-
emit, they must be chosen for life, or
they will be useless body. Such
an aristocratic body will keep down
the turbulence of Democracy. But
if you elect them for a shorter Pc
Rod, they will be only a name, and
we had better be without them.
Thus constituted. hope they will
show us the weight of aristocracy.
Such was Gouverncur Morris,
whom, side by side with his brother
aristocrat, Alexander Hamilton, we
are called upon to worship as the
